19" for '05 sedan OB. Can I go staggered? Anyone know anything about these wheels?

Would they even fit?

I know our lug pattern is 5 x 114.3. But does it have to be exact?

Lug pattern needs to be exact or it will not fit. Unless you get an adapter, but why buy new wheels that don't fit?

Well I just bought VMR wheels after I seen a set on another member. (so as far as I know, we are the only 2 but he is the first). Offset is up to you. It's hard to find adapters less than 25mm so what ever your offset on the wheels are, you'll have to subtract 25 from that and then you'll get your effective offset. Im running +45 on fronts so with 25mm adapters, the offset is really +20. They don't have any wider than 9.5"

Offset is one thing, bolt pattern is another... We have a 114.3 x 5 pattern for a reason..

Not sure if you meant it but when I mentioned adapters, I was talking about converting our 5 x 114.3 to a different pattern in order to fit the wheels. What you're talking about are spacers.

no, adapters meaning converters. Like I said, I have VMR's with BMW bolt pattern so I had to convert them to our lug pattern. So pretty much you need adapters that fit 5x4.5 wheels (the VMR's) and 5x4.75 (original) wheel lug pattern.
